Macsee has a file size limitation (I think it is 160 kb), so we deleted it from
our server.

I've used a shareware program called "Macsee" which works well with most
(but not all) file formats. I had trouble reading a Word Perfect file, but
MS-Word files were O/K.
I've not had any experience with Mac-generated FCS data.

Macsee (& all such things I've heard of) can read Mac-formatted DOUBLE DENSITY
disks, but CANNOT read 800K disks.
We got Macsee from one of the mirror ftp sites of the Oakland Uni shareware
resource.
